Kiddo in the Kitchen : Zucchini Spice Cupcakes

Desserts for Dudes

I don't know about you, but when kiddo and I go to the farmer's market, our minds turn to big, farm-fresh salads cupcakes. I'm pretty sure he chose this recipe so that zucchini I bought wouldn't show up on his dinner plate.

Beat the butter and cream cheese on medium-high until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and1/2 c. sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth and combined. Add the remaining sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.

Now it's time to frost the cupcakes...

Kiddo said he wanted to try piping instead of spreading the icing.

He did a really great job...and I couldn't get enough of watching him.

These cupcakes are wonderful...moist and full of flavor. And, you can never go wrong with cream cheese frosting! We think you'll like them!

The verdict?

Here...we saved one for you....

{OH! I almost forgot....there are a couple new videos over at University of Cookie. Be sure to check how the method TidyMom uses to roll her cookie dough. Genius!}
